Who among us here wouldnt love to play a new iteration of Duke? I know I would. Do not under-estimate the power of nostalgia. Duke Nukem will probably haunt us a long time from now. I mean George is a tragic bastard, but IF Duke ever shows his face in a PC game again Im pretty sure I would be interested.

I love the whole "complaining about complaining" argument... if your wife constantly nagged at you, complaining about every little thing you did, would you just have to ignore it, otherwise be a complainer yourself?

The big difference is that the original complainers aren't complaining about anyone specific on these boards. They are complaining about a topic they care about. Conversely, anti-complainers exist to complain about specific complainers. Therefore, the nagging wife in your example would be analogous to the anti-complainers, not the complainers.

I'm trying to decide which is the more hypocritical. I mean, complaining about complaining is right up there, but on the other hand, how serious can you be about not wanting to hear any more DNF news when you proceed to make it the most active thread of the day?

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I for one want to hear more Duke Nukem news. News that the property has been delivered into the hands of an actual competent studio who intends to actually do something other than jerk everyone's chain for over a decade.

As far as this little tidbit, it's pretty worthless, but it DOES remind me I haven't said anything bad about one of the gaming industry's biggest fakes, Broussard, in far too long. So that's something.

The irony is that the anti-complainers are way more bitchy and whiney than the complainers on Bluesnews.

The only people making a big deal are the same people making the same complaints for the 100th time. So if all you guys can do is complain, don't you at least come up with new complaints, if not why bother posting?

No offense but if someone has made the same complaints for the 100th time, then your complaint about the complaining, is the same complaint for the 50th time.

I think you should appreciate the irony about complaining about complaining. I would also hope you see the logical fallacy in it as well.

Saying "wow you guys complain a lot" is not instantly hypocritical, especially on Blue's News.

I wasn't complaining per se... I think DNF news bits are still gaming news, and I still have an interest as to what's going on, unlike some folks. I was just saying that I have more interest in the Law Suit than George's ramblings (unless he talks specifically about the suit or DNF completion... which he won't do either). And yes... I think Take Two should win.. they've obviously put up with as much crap, if not more, from 3DRealms than the gaming community.

It's going to be a drama that slowly unfolds... much like the SCO / Novell thing. With hope... not as slow, though.

What's the big deal, George has always made posts/communicated/chatted (given the circumstances) with fans best he could just like any dev, their geeks too?

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.That is easy.All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.It works the same way in any country.

Someone just needs to put these "developers" out of their misery. I am so sick of hearing about this Mother of Vaporware Duke Nukem 3D. Broussard has become a serious joke. It just isn't funny anymore.
